Jimmy Clausen
A little less than 4 years ago, as a high school senior in Florida, I began my college search. I had visited Chicago-area schools, including Notre Dame, in the spring, but went to the Notre Dame-BYU game.
The game came the week after a close loss to USC (and my prom). We went up, it was freezing, the stands were a little empty due to Fall Break. I loved it.
The team, lead by Brady Quinn, won 49-23. I got put up for 35 push-ups. The spirit, the fans, the experience convinced me to go to Notre Dame.
4 years later, I'm here... ... Read more
Notre Dame has two games and a bowl game remaining. I've heard from someone who is in the know that 1 or 2 wins guarantees a Gator Bowl invite, while 1 or 0 wins sees us heading to the St. Petersburg Bowl.
Wins against UConn and ranked Stanford would have us at 8-4 with a bowl game. Winning out thus gives us 9-4 with a win over a ranked Stanford and, most likely, a win over a ranked opponent in Jacksonville.
This is the worst case. ... Read more
Brought to you by awful officiating, still not an excuse for another shitty game since 2005...
Yesterday the Notre Dame Fighting Irish took on the Pittsburgh Panthers. They lost 27-22 with a key chop-block penalty setting up a 3rd and 16 which resulted in the WORST over-turned replay call I've ever seen.
That being said, Weis is still to blame for the loss... ... Read more

TE Kyle Rudolph, widely viewed as Clausen's third target, is done with the season with a shoulder injury, Weis said today.
Tate, Floyd, and Allen should play against Pittsburgh at 8pm. However, Rudolph's loss will be felt. Although he hasn't been targeted in some games (USC and BC most significantly), Rudolph remains a talented and big receiver able to create mismatches against less athletic linebackers and safeties.
This loss could hurt Clausen's Heisman chances with limiting his chances at finding an open receiver.
I fully expect after an embarrassing lost to unranked Navy and tough games at Pittsburgh and Stanford left on the schedule, that we have seen the last year of the Charlie Weis era.
I have long supported him, realizing the ... Read more
Today's post brought to you by homework, consistently preventing you from doing anything fun since 962BC.
Every ying has a yang. Every head a tail. Every shot a partner (hopefully). Which is weird way of beginning discussions concerning the #2 Wide Receiver in the land.
Ladies and Gentleman...Golden Tate. ... Read more
